 I recently heard that phytic acid is able to inhibit the enzyme xanthine oxidase that causes a build up of uric acid(({{pubmed>long:14738912}})). The supplement IP6 Gold is a good source of phytic acid but I have not tried it though. I am concerned that this supplement might be immunosuppressive as it works like Allopurinol which also blocks xanthine oxidase - we know that Allopurinol to be immunosuppressive.   I recently heard that phytic acid is able to inhibit the enzyme xanthine oxidase that causes a build up of uric acid(({{pubmed>long:14738912}})).

 +Herein, we report a positive relationship between serum UA and acute-phase reactants, such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, ferritin, complement C3, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, in a cohort of 2731 nondiabetic adults. The relationship remains significant after adjustment for several confounders, including age, sex, adiposity, anti-hypertensive treatments or diuretics use. To confirm the existence of a causal relationship, we examined the effect of UA on the expression of inflammatory biomarkers in human hepatoma HepG2 cells and characterized the signaling pathway by which UA acts.
